1500 drinking gas
I bought my 2003 Silverado new. It's a 1500, 6-cly. It now has 58,000 miles, starts and runs as good as it ever did, does not use oil, no knocks or engine rattles. It's never been mistreated and always serviced regularly. The problem is poor gas mileage. I use to get 17-19 MPG. Yesterday I put the pencil to it and I got a whopping 9.9 miles to the gallon. My mechanic(s) say that all the codes and air filter are fine and the tail pipe does not show any unusual soot. They are kind of at a loss to explain what is happening. Anyone ever had this problem or have any ideas what it might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

some of the O2 sensors control the fuel mixture. The MAF sensor also does. It is probably one of the many sensors on the engine malfunctioning but not bad enough to throw a code.
